I remember driving down international airport blvd, and traffic was backed up and down to one lane. Finally got up to the "accident" and it was a huge bull moose just slowly cruising down the right lane. No lane changes or anything.. Just walking straight down the lane for like a mile. Right by the Alaskan bush co.
Bbqing out on my friends back deck, and a couple of em just cruised up to the bbq to smell what we were cookin. Such regular encounters with all the meese was strange for me for a little bit, coming from the desert. Their complete lack of give-a-fuck most times was crazy. Walked down to pull gate guard one winter during an ftx.. It was cold and dark at 3am and I was walking with my head down, trying to fish my nods out of a pouch, and literally ran into a moose. She just looked at me like 'wtf' and sauntered off. |

I'd have said to that moose, "As a matter of fact, I do have a moment to speak with you about Jesus!".
Though I'd probably have stuttered and all he'd have heard as he watched my ass jackrabbiting toward cover would be "JESUS!".

Moose are pretty mean too. They aren't like deer/elk that are more likely to run off than to challenge you. Moose are much more prone to go active defense. |

Moose IS delicious, but should be carefully inspected and cooked thoroughly. Everything from brainworm nematodes to liver flukes to tapeworms love to live in moose. Most is safe to eat when well done, though.

Yeah, you can do that when you weigh damn near a ton and have serrated bulldozer blades on your head and can kick a grizzly senseless when you feel like it. 
Moose (the A/Y version anyway) are not to be trifled with. They rate right up there with Cape Buffalo on my list of Things Better Left Alone Unless Heavily Armed With Backup. But they're sooo tasty... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm guessing that's a moose? Never seen one before. Aren't they dangerous? When I first showed up to my unit in Alaska, one of the first things they did was show us a video of a guy that got between a momma moose and her baby. Momma brutally stomped the guy to death to protect her baby. I encountered quite a few in the woods hiking and during training. They can be dangerous, but like I said earlier, I literally walked into one with my head down in the dark not paying attention, and she just looked at me and walked away slowly. I've been rucksack flopped and had one come out of the treeline a couple feet behind me, stop, and just turn around and went away. I wouldn't try to get super close on purpose, cause they can definitely put a hurtin' on you, but they weren't really something to be afraid of unless they are coming right for you and don't look happy. |
